Mr. Cox enjoyed the morning work and was on the job by 5 a.m. every day.
'He was always such a good guy,' said his wife, Lyda Mae Cox. 'Monday mornings, women would be changing their mattress covers, and he'd help them change their covers.

Before he delivered milk, he worked for the United Parcel Service and was the first man to put on a UPS uniform in Cincinnati, when the company came to town in 1934.

67 years, and they were good years - a happy time.'
